In later news about this, she didn’t even have the correct ticket to travel.

Perhaps she does this ticket scam all the time, but got found out as less travelling. ???

Who knows, two sides to every story

I think that the Surcharge goes into a big pot, it doesn't necessarily go to the victim of the crime. From my understanding there doesn't have to be a victim for a person to pay the charge for the crime they have committed, it goes to those people ho are victims. I suppose it's a kind of added Tax for being found guilty, although i may be way off.

Is Dinou a Romanian surname? Sounds French colonial to me.

Disregarding that, what I'm about to say may shock you... She could, in fact, be British with a foreign surname. Madness, eh?

Merde! Oh well.

Maurice Swan.

Surname sounds like a jack to me.

I was being a bit facetious when I said Roumanian.......there are approx 298 people in the world (maybe less now...) with that surname...most prevalent in Cameroon and New Caledonia....
